About Karly Shay Event Services

Karly Shay Event Services

Head Planner

Hi, I'm Karly – a California girl through and through! I surf, snowboard, and am always down for tacos and wine. I’m highly organized, love planning, and have a knack for creativity. Whether you need help with event design, wedding invitations, graphics, charcuterie, or anything else – I’ve got you covered. Think of my business as your one-stop shop for all things wedding! My goal is to make your day as fun as possible. I always say, if my team does a great job, no one will even know we’re there. We’ll fly under the radar, make everything run smoothly, and ensure your only job is to have an amazing time!

I have a dry sense of humor and a no-nonsense attitude, so you can count on me to get things done. I treat your family like my own, which means I’m not afraid to speak up when something needs to be said. My number one priority is making sure you're taken care of, no matter what.

In three words: Creative, Fun, Resourceful

Karly Shay Event Services was an absolute pleasure to work with. Her communication was efficient, providing us with all the important details and information well ahead of time to execute the event. Karly herself was lovely to work with, and we look forward to the opportunity to collaborate with her team again in the future!
Karly is the one!

Karly was an absolute dream to work with! From start to finish, she made the entire wedding planning process feel so much more manageable. Whenever I was overwhelmed and stressing about everything being perfect, she came in with the most soothing energy and always had a solution ready. She was incredibly communicative and made me feel like I could truly trust her with my big day—and she delivered beyond my expectations. My wedding was an absolute dream come true, and I know I have Karly to thank for that. If you’re looking for a wedding planner who is organized, calm under pressure, and genuinely invested in making your vision a reality, Karly is the one!
We loved Karly

Karly was an absolute lifesaver for our April wedding! It was in my husband’s aunt’s backyard, which came with a ton of logistics, but she handled everything smoothly and with so much grace. She made sure I had enough to eat, always had a drink in my hand, and even assisted with photos—helping to wrangle family and make sure we got every shot we wanted. By the end of the night, she wasn’t just our planner—she was a friend. If you’re looking for someone who’s organized, fun, and will make your wedding day effortless, Karly is the one!
